Accessibility Statement

A firm that sells governance should be willing to be measured by its own instrument. This page states what standard this site targets, what was done to meet it, what is known not to meet it, and how to tell us when we're wrong.

Conformance target

This site is built to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. That standard is also the benchmark referenced by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which governs information and communication technology procured by federal agencies, and is used as a reference standard by District of Columbia agencies.

We state this as a target with known exceptions rather than as a certification. No third party has audited this site. Claiming certified conformance without an independent assessment would be the same self-attestation problem we advise clients against.

Measures taken

  • Contrast. Primary text combinations were selected against measured ratios — cream on navy at approximately 13.8:1 and gold on navy at approximately 6.4:1, both exceeding the 4.5:1 AA threshold for body text. The lighter brand gold is deliberately never used for text on light backgrounds, where it fails; a darker gold is substituted for accents.
  • Keyboard operability. Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator at 3px and 2px offset. A skip-to-content link is the first focusable element on the page.
  • Target size. Interactive targets are set to a 44px minimum.
  • Semantic structure. Headings descend in order, navigation is marked as a landmark, the current page carries an aria-current state, and the mobile menu button exposes its expanded state.
  • Form labels. Every field has a persistently visible label. Placeholders are never used as the only label, and validation errors are conveyed in text rather than by color alone.
  • Motion. Transitions are limited to color and opacity at 150–250ms. There is no parallax, no scroll-jacking, and no entrance animation on body copy. The prefers-reduced-motion setting is honored.
  • Meaning without color. No information is conveyed by color alone.

Known limitations

Stated plainly, because an accessibility statement that lists only successes is marketing:

  • No independent audit. Conformance has been assessed internally only. No assistive-technology user testing has been conducted.
  • Client-side routing. Pages are rendered without a full page load. Focus is moved to the main region on each route change and the document title is updated, but screen reader announcement behavior across this pattern has not been verified with every assistive technology.
  • Third-party scheduling. The booking tool linked from this site is operated by a third party. Its accessibility is outside our control and has not been assessed by us.
  • Documents. Capability statements and other PDFs distributed by ArcPoint have not been individually tested for tagged-PDF accessibility. An accessible alternative format is available on request.

Feedback and alternative formats

If any part of this site or any ArcPoint document is inaccessible to you, write to jleonard@arcpointconsulting.com or call (202) 459-2133. Tell us the page or document and the barrier you hit. We aim to acknowledge within one business day and to supply the content in an accessible alternative format at no cost.

If a response is unsatisfactory, say so directly to the principal — there is no escalation tier above him, which is the point of the firm.
